Danish Estates: Tom Eltang Smooth Apple (Unsmoked)
Product Number: 004-001-16648
Similar to his signature Devil Anse rendition, this Tom Eltang Apple features a plump, forward-canted bowl with a noticeably low-set waistline. Instead of abbreviated of length and with an oval shank, though, this piece poises the bowl on the end of a standard length shank and stem combination whose slender profile lends the bowl and perched-like posture. Such a pairing ensures comfortable clenching and a lightweight disposition, while the bowl's curves delight the palm when held. The grain is masterfully oriented — cross grain bisecting sections of birdseye that saturate the flanks — and the craftsmanship and stem work testify to Tom's place as one of the most prolific and esteemed carvers in the community.
